GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Apr. 18 1911;

Application filed November 1'7, 1910. Serial No. 592,838.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F nnonron EnLUno,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Lanse, in the county ofClearfield and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new anduseful Improvementsin Garment-Hangers, of which the following is aspecification.

This inventionrelates to arment han ers Figure 1 is a side elevationillustrating the device in one position. Fig. 2 is a similar viewshowing one member atright angles to the position given it in Fig. 1.Fig. 3 is an end view showingone member in section.

Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral views.

The device comprises two separate members one of which is designed torest in a vertical position while supporting a garment and the other torest in a horizontal position. Thehorizontal member is constructed to besupported by the vertical member in either of two positions. Fig. 1illustrates one position of the horizontal member in 'which its loopshaped extremities lie fiat and Fig. 2 illustrates its position at rightangles thereto in which the loop shaped extremities appear to stand onedge.

The vertically disposed member which I shall designate as 1 is formed oftwo strands of wire or like material wound upon each other at oneextremity and shaped into a hook 2 by which the member is suspended.These strands of wire form a shoulder 3 at the lower termination of hook2 below which shoulder they branch away from each other and form a pairof approximately parallel garment supporting frames 4 the lowerextremity of each of which frames forms an elongated loop 5. A shoulder6 is formed in one of the members i for the support of the horizontalmember.

The horizontal member which I shall designate as 7 is formed of a singlestrand of wire bent to form terminal loops'8 and a centrally disposedloop 9, the wire being wound upon itself at 10, 10 which points arebetween the central loop and terminal loops. The horizontal member 7 maybe supported upon the vertical member by insorting the hook 2 throughtheloop 9 and resting said loop on shoulder 3 as illustrated in Fig. 1 inwhich instance the terminal loops 8 will lie flat and the horizontalmember is then adapted for supporting a coat over these loops or othergarments of a similar nature. A pair of trousers or a dress skirt may besupported upon the elongated loop 5 of the vertical member.

In Fig. '2 the horizontal member is supported through the medium of theloop 9 inserted between the members 4 until it rests upon the shoulder 6in which position the terminal loops are adapted for holding stockings,gloves, or for other garments rcquiring a support of this kind.

lVhat I claim is v 1. A garment hanger comprising, a vertical memberprovided at one end with a hook, a shoulder formed'at the lowertermination of said book, a pair of parallel membersd formed below saidshoulder, one of said members being formed with a shoulder 6 and ahorizontal member 7 adapted to be supported by the vertical member uponeither of its shoulders 3 or 6.

2. A garment hanger comprising, a verticalmember provided at one endwith a hook, a shoulder formed at the lower termination of said hook, apair of parallel members 4 formed below said hook and each terminatingin an elongated loop, one of said members l being provided with ashoulas my own I have hereto affixed my sigma-- der 6, a horizontallydisposed membr proture in the presence of two subscribing witvlded withterminal loops and a central loop nesses.

which latter is designed for engagement vFREDRICK EDLUND. '5 with one ofthe shoulders of the vertical Witnesses:
